Ryanair is increasing its checked baggage charges from £10 to £15 on October 1. Excess baggage fees have also risen from £15 to £20 per kilo. Passengers will only be allowed two bags, but the overall weight allowance is increasing to 30kg. Stephen McNamara, from the airline, said: "In order to persuade passengers to travel with carry on bags only we are increasing baggage allowances and fees."
